"Okay, let's stop here for today. Your health is more important."

"No, I still have a lot to say to you..."

"Don't worry, I'll be in Lizhu these days, and I'll have plenty of time to accompany you."

"OK then……"

Liu Li pinched Lin Manyu's little hand and coaxed her to sleep before leaving the room.

Outside the door were Zu Ju and Han Rui who had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master." Zu Ju called out softly when she saw Liu Li approaching.

"Auntie Zu, Auntie Han, Sister Manyu is asleep..."

After saying that, Liu Li also yawned, causing the two of them to chuckle.

"Liu Li, can you please talk to me for a moment?"

"Auntie Han wants to talk to me about something?"

"Yes, some personal matters."

Han Rui took the initiative to invite Liu Li, who thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The two walked side by side into the courtyard, passing through the man-made bridges and flowing water.

If it weren't for the bandages on the two people that ruined the atmosphere, it would have been a good place to relax.

Seeing that Han Rui hadn't spoken a word, Liu Li took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Auntie Han is worthy of being a high-level Si Tian Cheng. The thunder method she controls is so powerful."

"This is the first time I've heard such compliments..." Han Rui smiled and glanced back and forth at the bandages on both of them. "Liu Li, you really don't hate me?"

Liu Li shrugged: "There's nothing to hold a grudge against... Didn't Aunt Han have no choice at that time? At least judging from the result, I didn't die, and Manyu and Feiyu were both rescued... That's enough."

"Then Aunt Han won't worry anymore..." Han Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Liu Li and said straight to the point, "Liu Li, when are you going to marry Manyu?"

"Ah?" Liu Li was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked at Han Rui.

The latter had a faint smile on her face, her beautiful eyes twinkling, and her words did not sound like those of a deliberate test.

Liu Li didn't expect Han Rui to be so direct, and she was a little out of control.

Originally, he planned to face Han Rui with a normal attitude, but when this question came up, he felt like he was meeting his mother-in-law.

Liu Li took a deep breath, and after a few seconds of silence, he said seriously: "It will take at least three years..."

"Three years later?"

Han Rui stopped smiling and frowned as she began to think, "Three years is not too late... But... since Lord Biaolong is in Lishan, wouldn't it be better to decide now? Liu Li, what else are you going to be busy with in the next three years?"

Although she was surprised by Liu Li's straightforward answer, Han Rui quickly came to her senses and began to seriously think about the meaning of Liu Li's words.

After seeing this, Liu Li did not keep the secret, but told him her plan.

"Aunt Han, now is not the right time. I will be going to the West soon... This is something I have planned a long time ago... After I come back, if Aunt Han and Manyu have not changed their minds, I am 100% willing to marry Manyu."

Hearing the genuine affection in Liu Li's words, Han Rui sighed.

She naturally knew her daughter's character and it was unlikely that she would change her mind.

Liu Li saved the Lin family's life and is also the heir to the throne. In every aspect, he is the most suitable son-in-law. There is no reason for Han Rui to break up the couple.

So, she smiled calmly and said, "If it's just like this, it's not a big deal. Manyu is devoted to you. As long as you are willing to live up to her, as Manyu's mother, I have nothing to worry about."

"You're too kind. It's actually my blessing to marry Sister Manyu."

"I've never seen you, Liu Li, so eloquent before. Aunt Han almost judged you by your appearance..."

"Haha, I hope it doesn't leave a bad impression..."

"..."

After putting her worries to rest, Han Rui smiled for the first time.

Although she never showed it, she had basically had a worried expression on her face since Lin Peng's death.

Lin Manyu and Lin Feiyu are her only concerns in life now.

Being able to find a good home for them as soon as possible is Han Rui's current goal.

"Auntie Han, what are you going to do next?"

"I will probably stay in Lizhu..." Han Rui replied, "But... Feiyu is too young to take on such a big responsibility... My position comes from the Heavenly Palace, so I don't have the power to lead troops... According to the laws of Zhendan, I will probably have to appoint a new garrison commander..."

"Isn't that the same as living under someone else's roof?"

"It's not that miserable..."

Han Rui was a little amused.

Liu Li frowned in thought. Han Rui looked puzzled but did not disturb her out of politeness.

"Aunt Han..." Liu Li looked at her and said seriously, "If I let you take over as the commander of Lizhu... would you be willing?"

Han Rui's expression gradually became serious after hearing this: "Being able to inherit my late husband's legacy is what I have always wanted...but..."

"Auntie Han, don't worry, I have a way to try..."

"What method? If it requires you, Liu Li, to spend too much energy, then forget it..."

"probably not……"

The next day.

The five dragon sons gathered in Lizhu and sat in the main hall.

Their seating arrangement was very particular. Miaoying sat in the middle, Yuanbo and Yinyin were on her sides, Zhaoming and Lichang were at the two ends, with Miaoying sitting at the center.

But if we divide them according to their respective positions in Zhendan, the one sitting in the middle should actually be Yuanbo.

"Mrs. Lin, please accept my condolences regarding Lord Lin's matter..."

Miaoying left her seat and approached Han Rui with a solemn face. The latter hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Miaoying shook her hand first.

"I am truly flattered that Lord Biaolong has come in person..."

Han Rui said respectfully, but found that Miaoying was pulling her up with her hands.

Being led by a dragon son like this, even Han Rui felt a little dizzy.

"I heard that Biaolong is aloof and cold like the wind, and unkind. Now that I see him, he is a completely different person..."

Han Rui thought silently in her heart and followed Miaoying's steps.

"This is……"

When Miaoying led her to the main seat, Han Rui opened her mouth in surprise.

"Mrs. Lin, please take a seat." Miaoying said softly, "Lord Lin has guarded Lizhu for decades. The difficulty of this matter cannot be explained in a few words... We have all seen the contributions of the Lin family and will never abandon them... This seat should be occupied by Mrs. Lin..."

"This..." Han Rui's eyes were already filled with tears when she heard Miaoying's words, but she still felt hesitant instinctively about sitting between the dragons.

"Liu Li has informed me of his marriage to Manyu..." Miaoying whispered in Han Rui's ear, "But it's not just his idea to let you inherit the position of Lizhu's defender..."

Upon hearing this, Han Rui looked towards the hall, where Liu Li and Lin Feiyu, who had just woken up, were leaning against each other intimately.

Feeling Han Rui's gaze, Liu Li smiled faintly and nodded.

Seeing this, Han Rui took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. Instead, she sat on the main seat with the help of Miaoying.
